Car parking is available for both camping and non-camping ticket holders. You will need to buy a car park pass through Ticketmaster when you buy your festival ticket. All cars on site over the weekend-for one day or three-must have a car park pass. This is the only way to guarantee a parking spot on site. See our T&Cs for more info.

Nope, no tents or gazebos can be pitched in the campervan / caravan field.
I have a weekend camping ticket. Can I come & go from the festival?
Yes, if you wish. We are confident that everything you could possibly need for a wonderful weekend will be available onsite, but if you do need to leave temporarily your weekend camping wristband will allow you to come and go. Wristbands that have been tampered with or that have been removed will be confiscated & you will not be allowed re-enter the festival site.
Are there toilets and showers?
Yes! Toilets and baby changing facilities will be located all around the festival site. Campsites will be equipped toilets and showers, as well as bottle prep areas with sterilising equipment.
Do I have to camp?
While we recommend camping to get the full festival experience, you don’t have to. Non-camping weekend tickets are also available. Details can be found here.
Are there any disabled access facilities at the festival, and how do I apply for them?
Yes, at Kaleidoscope our aim is to make sure everyone is included in the fun!
First, you will need to buy a standard ticket for the festival-either camping or non-camping. After that you need to register your interest in using accessible facilities by following the instructions on the Camping page of the website. You can send any questions about disabled access facilities to access@kaleidoscopefestival.ie
Can I bring my own alcohol?
Yes, each adult aged 18+ with a weekend camping ticket can bring alcohol for personal consumption, subject to initial entry only. Alcohol may not be brought into the arena, and no alcohol in glass bottles will be allowed on site. Any alcohol in glass containers should be decanted into a plastic container before entering the site.
Alcohol can be brought onto site at time of first entry only. There is no re-entry with alcohol once wristbanded. Please drink responsibly!
Can I bring glass bottles?
For safety reasons you are not allowed to bring glass bottles into the camping, caravan or festival site except for small make-up items and perfume / aftershave under 100ml.
